We'll be rolling out even more tips from them all month long. Keep an eye out for our 25x25 logo on Lipstick.com and on Instagram at @get_lipstick. But first, click on through!

Microstrobing

"It's a zoned-in version of the well-known highlighting trick. Everyone is obsessed with looking great in their Instagram photos, and super-specific luminizing is important for that. Highlight just the tip of your nose—not too much or you'll look like a lightbulb!—and never the bridge. It gives you a more defined nose." —Raye Boyce, known to her million-plus YouTube followers as ItsMyRayeRaye (her highlighter of choice: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Pearl, $38, sephora.com)

Sheet Masks

"I'm into next-level sheet masks from Korea. I'm seeing some that now come with a syringelike shot of fresh vitamin C. Oozoo Face Injection Mask Illumination is one I really love—get it this month on my site." —aesthetician Charlotte Cho, cofounder and chief curator of the hugely popular Korean beauty e-tailer sokoglam.com

Behind-the-Ear Tattoos

"The behind-the-ear tattoo is just a flirty, sexy spot. And you have the option to reveal it or not. To hide it, wear your hair down; and to show it off, pull your hair into a bun. Just keep the design delicate." —Jon Boy, the tattoo artist at Bang Bang whose handi­work has been spotted on Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin

Glow-in-the-Dark Eyeshadow

"This year is about having fun with beauty. For late nights I love transformer eyeshadows that glow in black lights—like the two in my palette!"—Kendall Jenner (with Gigi Hadid), guest editor for Estée Edit, Estée Lauder's new younger-sister line. Her Estée Edit by Estée Lauder Kendall J Palette, $48, will hit sephora.com) later this month

Daring Haircuts

"When I shaved my head for a role [as X-Men: Apocalypse's Storm], my whole routine simplified. I think every woman should cut off her hair at least once. It's liberating—and showers take two seconds. Just a bit of coconut oil keeps my scalp hydrated. And people don't mess with you when you have a shaved head!" —actress Alexandra Shipp, with her brother, James, who did the buzz

Honey Hair Treatments

"My dad is a beekeeper, and when I was a kid, my mother used honey to soothe our sore throats and as an antiseptic on cuts and scratches; then I started using it as a strengthening mask on my hair. I leave it on for a bit for lasting hydration. Honey adds serious luster to hair—it's a natural humectant, so it attracts and retains moisture." —Negin Mirsalehi, the Dutch fashion and beauty social media phenomenon and creator of Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil ($84, gisou.com)

DIY Hairstyles

"For so long, makeup has ruled the DIY space, but now hair how-tos are making trickier styles a cinch. Girls are looking for more interesting things they can do on their own, like making bends with a flatiron or creating chic rope braids. The videos make it easy." —Jen Atkin, the Hollywood hair whisperer who recently launched a new hair care line and hair how-tos at theouai.com; clients include Kim Kardashian West

Smiley Piercings

"My prediction for the body-piercing trend that'll explode in 2016? The 'smiley' piercing, a tiny rose- or yellow-gold ring that sits inside the mouth brushing across the top row of teeth. It's like a very delicate grill that you just see a hint of when you smile." —J. Colby Smith, the go-to piercer for celebs and models like Imaan Hammam

Unconventional Fragrances

"Twenty sixteen is the year to embrace less sophisticated fragrance notes; some ingredients, like pineapple or peach, get a bad rap because they're often wielded inelegantly. The key is to find a blend that mixes 'loud' ingredients with mellower ones like cedarwood." —Danielle Ryan, founder of the fashion-favorite Dublin creative agency Roads, where she creates films, books, and fragrances (like the pineapple-based Roads I Am Dance Fragrance, $155 for 1.7 oz., barneys.com)

Exercising Your Face

"Yoga movements for the face like the Horn Blower and the Angry Smile [stay tuned for a how-to!] are a safe, natural way to help prevent skin from sagging—they're great for lifting and tightening around the jowls and forehead." —Georgia Louise, New York City celebrity facialist

Skin Care Classics

"Find a product and stick with it. Forever. In an era of far too many cosmetic choices, when you find a product that says hello, there is no reason to say goodbye. I've been using the same Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv cream for 40 years. I keep her refrigerated, and she keeps me hydrated. Don't you think we did well for 75-year-old skin?" —Valerie von Sobel, an artist who—at, yes, 75—is a regular on advancedstyle.blogspot.com, the street-style site chronicling New York's chic 60-and-over crowd created by blogger Ari Seth Cohen

Beauty Signatures

"Wear makeup that works for you. I prefer a lip stain to lipstick when I'm onstage because I don't have to worry about it going anywhere if I'm sweating. It's more like lip armor; it just stays in place. The one in current rotation is Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro in 400 [$38, armanibeauty.com], a classic fire-engine red." —Andra Day, above, the Grammy-nominated R&B singer with a rockabilly-meets-pinup-girl fashion and beauty approach

Wild, Natural Hair

"When it comes to hair, I'm seeing a shift to a modern matte texture that feels more real and wild—it's not about a perfect, sleek, not-a-hair-out-of-place look." —James Pecis, backstage hairstylist and our favorite Instagram hair humorist; follow him @jamespecis

"The Tilbury Tap"

"It's my signature skin care technique. I always apply my creams using a tapping massage technique to help promote collagen. Blend your moisturizers up and out in a wing-shaped pattern over the cheeks to stimulate lymphatic drainage, then gently tap in across the forehead, nose, and chin. I've been doing this backstage on models and with celebrities before award ceremonies for years, and it really does sculpt, define, and lift the facial framework." —Charlotte Tilbury (with model Suki Waterhouse), the flame-haired makeup artist who's a favorite of celebrities such as Blake Lively and Kate Moss and designers like Tom Ford

Inside-Out Beauty

"For beauty, I'm all about working from the inside out. I love Sun Potion tonics [Reishi Mushrooms, $48, capbeauty.com]—they're Chinese-medicine-based­supplements that I blend into my morning smoothies or add to cold cereals. I've noticed how clear my skin has become since I've started taking them." —Chloe Kernaghan of Sky Ting Yoga

Getting Dolled Up

"I love the ritual of getting done up—having my hair set in curlers, putting my makeup on. Life's too short to save it for the odd Saturday night! Before I apply my red lipstick, I dab on MAC Lipmix, an opaque cream pigment. When my lipstick fades, there's still a deep color underneath."—accessories designer Charlotte Olympia; see her makeup collaboration with MAC in stores this month

Eyelash Lifts

"If you're going for wider, brighter-looking eyes, a lash lift is a must. The idea is that lashes are lifted and curled from the root, then held in place with a special serum. The in-salon process [roughly $100] takes about 20 minutes and means you can skip the curler for about four weeks." —Kristie Streicher, brow artist, who with her sisters opened Striiike, a one-stop beauty shop in Beverly Hills

At-Home Skin Rehab

"If you can't get the new microcurrent facials regularly, the Ziip handheld skin care device [$495, violetgrey.com] is the next best thing. This gadget is pricey but helps fix everything from puffiness to breakouts after about three to four uses." —Jenn Streicher, makeup artist

Hair Elastic Upgrades

"Swap your elastics for a far more elegant hairpin [like the Berry Geo Bobby Pin, $14, nordstrom.com]. It's chicer and won't put that nasty bend in your hair. You can do a French twist, a messy bun, or a topknot just by quickly twisting and anchoring the hair with the pin." —Ashley Streicher, hairstylist

Beauty Inclusivity

"We show people of all different ages, body types, and backgrounds—a really diverse group. They confirm to us that beauty isn't defined by just one ideal." —Elisa Goodkind, left, cofounder of stylelikeu.com, which she created with her daughter Lily Mandelbaum, right

Miracle Serums

"My obsession for 2016 is Restorsea Pro serum [$195, restorsea.com]—it's made with a Norwegian salmon enzyme that I swear has transformed my skin. It just gives you that glow." —Jodie Patterson, cofounder of beauty site doobop.com
